Specification of Letters Patent.

- Application filed February 9, 1917. Serial No. 1 17,6341.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, FREDERICK N. Weir-V time and EARL L.WVAFFLE, citizens of the United States, residing'at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented. new and useful Improvements in Necktie-Holders, of which 7 the following is a specification.

This invention relates to necktie holders and more particularly to such holders adaptturn down collar and also being applicable to a standing collar. 1

A further object of the invention is to provide. a holder of this character which may be easily and. quickly applied to any size or style of bow tie.

A further object of the invention is to provide for protecting the stitches by which the support is attached to the tie so that the 7 said stitches cannot be .cut or worn by contact with the collar or other object.

A further object of the invention is to i provide in conjunction with a holder as stated means for securely retaining the same in position upon a collar when applied.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is of simple structure and inexpensive to manu: facture.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of a collar showing the tie holder applied; 7

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view of the same; I

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the holder;

Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view of the 7 same.

vmeans of a pivot bolt or with the bar 1 at the hump. 2 thereof by pin 5. The bar 4 is shorter than the bar 1 and the end portions of the bar 4 are intended to normally lie over the roughened surfaces 3 of the bar 1. The barl is curved longitudinally and is provided at its ends with outwardly disposed extremities 6 which are provided with openings 7 adapted to receive the stitching whereby the bow tie may be secured to the said bar 4:. j y 7 By reason of the fact that the bar 1 is longer than the bar 4: the end portions of the said bar 1 project beyond the ends of the bar 4 and consequently the said bar 1 may be more readily inserted under the fold of a collar as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing. When the holder is applied to a collar the bar t bears against the outer surface of the fold and holds the fold in contact with the roughened surfaces 3 of the bar 1 whereby the holder is securely retained in position upon the collar and the tie is supported at the forward portion thereof. In view of the fact that the extremities 6 of the bar 4: are outwardly disposed they'will hold the stitching which secures the bow tie to the holder away from the surface of the collar and hence when the device is applied the said.

claimed is Patented Apr. 3d, 1918. j

Having described the invention what is 7 A tie holder comprising a relatively long rear bar provided at a point between its end portions with a hump which stands out laterally beyond the surfaces of the portions of the bar, said end portions having at their forward sides rou hened surfaces spaced from their extremities and. spaced from the hump, a front bar pivotally connected with the first mentioned bar-at the hump thereof and having end portions which extend beyond the said toughened surfaces, the said surfaces of the rear long bar and prevent front bar being shorter than the rear bar, slipping.

.the features being so arranged and disposed In testimony whereof We aflix our signa- 10 that the hump may lie between the ends of tures.
